In this workshop participants will engage in a hybrid artist talk and collective discussion exploring research and concept development related to individual photographic practices. In the first hour, the member artist-in-residence Holly Chang will cover an introduction to her work, her research approaches and some techniques and tips that can be used when trying to develop a project. The second hour will be an open discussion where participants can share their own work, discuss how they approach research and some of the techniques they have used before to conceptualize photographic projects. Participants will leave this workshop with a better understanding of how to critically approach projects and effectively develop ideas.
